Guest kernfam01 Posted October 1, 2004 #1 Share Posted October 1, 2004 I am flying from Kansas city, MO to Tampa , FL. I saw on Delta's website that my wait times (at ticket counter, security, etc) are approximately 15 minutes in KC. In Tampa the waits are estimated to be 1 HOUR and 15 minutes. Is Tampa airport a nightmare or something? Traveling w/ kids and trying to get an idea of what I'm in for, as far as the airport goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtchem1 Posted October 1, 2004 #2 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Last time we flew into Tampa, there was very high security, and it did take a while to get through everything. That was a year or two ago, so I'm not sure if things are better or worse. We went from Philadelphia to Tampa; Phila had very little visible security and Tampa had guys with automatic weapons and long lines throught the metal detectors.

betsyrossapk Posted October 1, 2004 #3 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Where did you get your info on the wait times @Tampa Airport. I am interested in finding out as we will be travelling there in less than 5 weeks. I have checked their website for info on where to pick up our airport shuttle: http://www.tampaairport.com/index.asp Should you allow yourself more than the 2 hr checkin time that is normally recommended?

rwdtgb Posted October 1, 2004 #4 Share Posted October 1, 2004 To all If you are flying Delta one of the biggest airlines into and out of Tampa you will have a wait at security ( I have waited an hour or longer resently) All airlines have an airside terminal and there is security at all of them....

betsyrossapk Posted October 1, 2004 #5 Share Posted October 1, 2004 We are flying Continental into tampa. Are security procedures the same for them as well? Should delays be expected for all airlines or just Delta for some reason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imlulu Posted October 1, 2004 #6 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Tampa security is very tight. It is one of the easiest airports to get around. I don't find it crowded at all. Security is just tight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
